PC Slotted Knurled Thumb Screw
PC slotted knurled screw is a high-performance engineering plastic fastening component made from polycarbonate (PC), designed for manual adjustment, corrosion resistance, electrical insulation, and high impact strength applications. The PC slotted knurled screw combines a knurled thumb grip with a slotted drive, allowing both tool-free hand tightening and optional screwdriver operation.
The PC slotted knurled screw is widely used in electronics housings, transparent assemblies, automotive interior components, lighting systems, and industrial equipment where durability, aesthetics, and lightweight performance are required.
Product Overview
The PC slotted knurled screw is designed for applications requiring frequent adjustment and easy handling. The knurled outer surface improves grip, while the slotted head provides additional tightening flexibility.
This PC slotted knurled screw is commonly used in lightweight assemblies where corrosion resistance, insulation, and mechanical strength are important. Polycarbonate material provides significantly higher impact resistance compared to PP, PVC, and standard nylon materials.
As a reliable industrial plastic fastener, it is widely used in OEM production and precision engineering systems.
